our country is a farce,
our country is a farce, our society is a farce, our world is a farce. we talk of progress, but where is the progress towards truth, and equality, and freedom? we are less free than any time in the last 200 years. the truth no longer matters, just what sounds good. and equality? there was more equality in the times of serfs than now. why did we let this happen? how could we have not seen it coming, and how could we have not fought it? we've let the weak minded, petty, low class, bullies among us become the rulers, and no one has the guts to bloody their noses. someone has to, but the thing is that the masses are too stupid to realise that they are being bullied, and so would not see it as the weak fighting against their domination, but instead would see it as the prom king receiving a cheap shot. which of our forefathers said that we needed a revolution every few decades? well he was right, but the problem is keeping the bad revolts down, and letting the good ones succeed. our country is based on government handouts, both monetary, and policy. the cotton and paper industries keep hemp down, the government makes more money on tobacco than tobacco companies, but still allows people to sue the tobacco companies, bush appoints ex-military contractor ceos to oversea the military, how much of a kick back do you think their going to get? it might not be a under the table payment as such, but just think of the salaries they will command when they go back to the private world, working for the companies that benefitted so much from the last 4 years of policies? why aren't we outraged about this? why doesn't it matter to us that we make less today than we did in the 50s? how come we willingly accept that the lottery is just about as likely as being able to start as a welfare baby, and end up a millionaire? usa the country of dreams? fuck that, we are the country of fantasies, that are never fulfilled for 99.99% of us. hell, even ivory has less soap than we have failure in this country. the rich get richer, the middle class gets poorer, and the poor are there to scare the hell out of the middle class(this is a weird distortion of some comedian(i think george carlin, but i'm not sure))
